Injured by a Doctor? You’ll likely deal with the secretive Medical Board instead of open court

May 14, 2012 By admin Leave a Comment

Fox 4 in Dallas did a great story on the Texas Medical Board and their contribution to physician discipline since tort reform in 2003.  According to the report serious disciplinary actions are down and the time taken to conduct investigations has risen.  Further, Doctor confidentiality and secrecy is maintained until a final disciplinary action is completed, leaving patients unaware of allegations of malpractice by doctors.

October 3, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

By Moni Basu, CNN William Beach was one of those people who fixated on certain foods. He would eat the same thing voraciously for a few days, and then, when he tired of the same tastes, he moved onto something else. In August, when summer’s heat seemed unending in Mustang, Okla., Beach took to savoring fried chicken -- and soft, sweet cantaloupe. Beach was elderly -- 87 -- but after eating the fruit, his health declined rather suddenly and before anyone in his family knew what was wrong, he was dead. He is among 15 people who died from Listeria monocytogenes in what the Centers for Disease … [Read more...]

Carreras v. Marroquin, et al.

The notice was not accompanied by a form allowing the doctor access to the daughter’s medical information as required by the health care liability law. After the parents filed suit, the doctor moved for summary judgment, arguing that the notice did not delay the parents filing deadline, resulting in the suit being barred as untimely. … [Read more...]
